DPSIR-Based Resilience Analysis of Tibetan Villages in Western Sichuan: A Case Study

This study examines the resilience and adaptability of Tibetan villages in western Sichuan by integrating the Social-Ecological Systems (SES) theory with the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework. Data from 2015 and 2022, collected through field surveys, participatory action research, and advanced modeling, reveal significant variability in village resilience. Shenzuo and Moluo villages exhibit the highest adaptive capacity, driven by effective economic development and resource management. Kegeyi and Minzu villages face environmental and socio-economic challenges, requiring targeted interventions. Xisuo excels in resource management but needs enhanced socio-economic resilience, while Jiangba requires better resource management and community engagement. The study offers practical recommendations for policymakers to diversify economies, upgrade infrastructure, and promote sustainable agriculture, ensuring long-term resilience in Tibetan villages.
